Some people do want that. There was a news story a few years ago about a guy in Sweden who put out a want ad for someone willing to be eaten, and a guy responded and consented. Not sure how many people realistically would do it, but it's not outwith the realms of possibility.
I'm not saying I'm actively seeking human flesh, I was just saying that I think the ability to consent is a key feature of the problem of human dominion over animals.
I hope I didn't freak anyone out =s.
I was helping a conservative Christian lady the other day with finding some home schooling material for her children and I asked what she was doing to socialize her children (often lack of it can be a big problem with home schooled children in later years). She told me of how she had them playing with some other home schooled children. I told her of some other possibilities I knew of. She seemed very receptive.
Just before she left she said "We just don't want them exposed to any of that evolution nonsense, only a fool would believe that animals change." She then quickly rushed out before I could say anything, as if she was scared about what I might say.
-I would have bitten my tongue and not said anything, as I wouldn't have wanted to scare her, and more importantly, her children away from the library (besides the library policy is that no one who works there is to argue politics or religion). But how narrow minded can you be?
Evolution isn't a theory, it's a proven fact. You might argue about whether one animal is descended from another, or their original origin, but there should be no argument that evolution exists.
-If you doubt that statement, next time that you're sick you should tell the doctor that you don't need any antibiotics that were invented after 1945 as it's impossible for resistant bacteria strains to have developed.

I'm disturbed. Why would anyone be ok with being someone's dinner? That's just freaky

It is pretty odd, but it's a kink that some people have. Less of that number would actually do it, but you may be surprised at the number of people who have cannibal fetishes.

if you ask creationist where the different races of humans come from they come up with some weird stuff. I mean if Noah was black, where did all the white people come from?
Reminds me of that part in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, where the animals wanted to be eaten. That creeped me out big time.

There is an interesting parallel there, indeed. I have a bookful of interesting moral philosophical quandaries such as this, it's actually entitled 'The Pig That Wants To Be Eaten: Thought Experiments For The Armchair Philosopher'.
I don't see what point you're trying to make.
I don't think it's right to take someones life for food that we don't need even if they consent. I think it's sad that they would value their lives so little.

I was just saying that it's an interesting concept to explore, and that, like most things, there isn't a simple 'black & white' answer. I'm in no way saying that how you feel about it is wrong, I wish to make that point emphatically. I'm sorry if I've caused upset, I didn't mean to.

But it's not foolish to believe the tales in the bible like a man being swallowed by a giant whale and living inside it or a woman turning into a pillar of pure salt?
Yeah evolution just sounds totally insane compared to those stories.I've been telling people to "Just eat me" for years.I'm disturbed. Why would anyone be ok with being someone's dinner? That's just freaky

Why home schooling should be monitored.

Oh my God , I am for Homeschooling still even tho I am changing my beliefs around, don't get me wrong but, some conserative Christian children still attends public schools they don't have no choice, I don't want my future children being exposed to their hate. I believe in creation but, I do believe there is evolution also at the same time. If we stay in the area we are living now the schools here are very great, I don't see nothing happening major here.
That's my belief also. I believe God created us through evolution.
But I believe trying to shield your children from the views of other children is the wrong way to go. Because no matter what you do, unless you totally isolate them (which is unhealthy) your children are going to be exposed to views of people you don't agree with. Some of these people are going to be bigots and haters. It's my belief that you should tell your children about these people, and explain to them why you feel their views to be wrong. You should prepare them so that they can learn to deal with this and make the right decisions.
We have a lot of home schooled children around here, and I have no problems with that, as long as they follow the state guidelines so their children won't have problems in their adulthood with a lack of education. The State guidelines (and tests) were deliberately created in a form so that no one should have a problem with them no matter what their religious views.
I actually know of several well adjusted home schooled children that are better educated than their public school counterparts.
One of the only problems I have is with possible lack of socialization of the children. They need to have friends and activities outside of the home. They need to learn how to deal with others. Lack of this can lead to later problems for the children. Often either taking the form of withdrawal from any interaction with others. or once away from the home, a total lack of restraint - going wild (sex, drugs, etc.).
I've seen both results.

People, just as a reminder, this is the Stupid things OMNIS say thread. In an attempt to stay on topic, perhaps we can start a stupid things stupid people say thread; or perhaps a thread on evolutionism/creationism/homeschooling.
Thanks.
Thanks.

And to bring it back around, I have my own contribution.
Last night bf and I decided to order pizza. Pizzahut has a deal, two medium pizzas, five breadsticks, and a side. The sides you can pick from are five chicken wings (gross), pizza rollers, which are rolls with cheese and pepperoni in them, and pasta with either meat and tomato sauce, or chicken alfredo sauce.
BF asks if we can order this, but sub a second order of breadsticks for the side, so I said I would call and ask. The woman on the phone gave me such a hassle, it's like she couldn't even conceive of someone not wanting a meaty side. "But it comes with the deal" she kept whining. "It's easier to just order one of the sides that comes with it". Over and over. Finally, I half blurted half yelled, "yeah, great, but we don't eat meat, they all have meat in them". I could hear her brain explode over the phone. "Are you suuuurrre you can't eat one of the sides?" She finally went to check with a manager, who I guess told her it were possible for a five dollar up charge.
Five bucks to replace an unwanted item with breadsticks. That's a dollar a breadstick.On top of that, it took them an hour and 10 minutes to deliver a pizza to a neighborhood literally down the street. Humph.
